Re: The Stone Roses

Even though I expected the Roses, I can't believe they're headlining. I expected an afternoon set (ala Kaiser Chiefs/Noel Gallagher) or worse a small tent show (Suede in the Mojave). SO FUCKING EXCITED FOR THIS!

Re: The Stone Roses

The most common thing I've heard from my friends since the lineup dropped: who the hell are The Stone Roses? Best advice I could give them was to listen to "I Am The Resurrection" and not stop listening until after the instrumental outro. If you're not sold after that then I can't help you.

Re: The Stone Roses

I've seen 2 Stone Roses sets. One was ok, and the other was the worst headline set I've ever witnessed (Reading). Reports from last year seem to say they are a lot tighter now, with Ian even singing in tune on occasion.

Re: The Stone Roses

Good reports all and from the 2012 sets and videos. They could be hot/cold back in the day.

Is this the Ballsiest headliner move by GV? We knew they were likely to be booked, but getting a full set and full production is a very pleasant surprise.

First North America show by the classic lineup. Minus the drummer they did SR dates in 1996 in the US. Some did solo dates in the US over a decade ago. The bass player played Coachella several years ago.

Thought occurred to me they may be laying groundwork to land another famous Madchester group in 2014. Hint: one of the band members is also playing on Friday.

Re: The Stone Roses

love the band. they are pretty shitty live. but have some amazing songs. this by far is the strangest headliner choice ever for GV, and it will no doubt be the emptiest main stage area ever for a headliner.

Re: The Stone Roses

Saw them last year at benicassim , Ian's vocals were spot on, and the band was tight as fuck. I'm shocked they're headlining , but very happy . They will put on a great show, same with blur

They will be playing to silence for the most part though. Americans know 1 Blur song(song 2, or as it is known in america, the woohoo song) and no Stone roses songs. Hopefully there will be a few europeans going over to make it a good atmosphere

Re: The Stone Roses

Yea I went to coachella 2011, there was lots of Europeans and Australians there, I'm sure they will create a great atmosphere . When I watched the strokes and kings of Leon I didn't think the atmosphere was that great. A lot of people I was standing around didn't even know anything off kol first 2 albums. So I'm sure it'll be the same kind of atmosphere as then
